"Church. 1847, by William Butterfield. Mixed random rubble with freestone dressings, graduated green slate roof. Simple Decorated style."
"PLAN: nave with west bellcote, south porch, chancel and north vestry."
"EXTERIOR: the west end of the nave has short but sturdy angle buttresses with weathered offsets, a 2-centred arched 2-light west window with double-chamfered surround, with cusped lights and a quatrefoil in the head, steeply-pitched gable coping broken in the centre by a gabled bellcote with a weathered band and a pair of cusped openings. Its south side has a prominent gabled porch, its roof-ridge at eaves level of the nave, with a chamfered plinth, a large 2-centred arched doorway moulded in 2 orders and a heavy board door, gable coping with an apex cross, and a pair of small cusped windows in each side wall; and to the right of the porch a window like that at the west end. The chancel, only slightly lower than the nave, has one smaller but similar window in each side, and a large 3-light east window with moulded surround, ogival-headed lights, geometrical tracery and a hoodmould."
"INTERIOR: plain panelled dado and plastered walls; scissor-braced common-rafter roof with ashlar-pieces and collars to every pair (i.e. a wagon roof); double-chamfered chancel arch with simple Perpendicular-style wooden screen, flanked by painted Biblical texts; chancel with panelled reredos and arch-braced common-rafter roof. A simple but boldly-modelled design, in which the main features are executed with conviction (e.g. the buttresses, porch and roof structure)."
